O TEMPORA! o MORES

When the great Roman states
man, Cicero uttered these words
against the conspirator, Cataline,
the counsePs lite and the great
Roman government were in dan
ger. Tie Roman people knew
not what to do, neither did Cic
ero whose sirene voice and pres.
ence confronted Cataline as be
entered the senate chamber to
take part In the deliberations.
How must these honorable
men have felt, when the man en-
tered who Was seeking to destroy
the Roman province? What
could have been the feelings of
the foman people when this con-
spirator was exposed ? The Ne
groes of today are placed in a
similar position as the Roman
people were. There is a conspir-
acy on foot against the poor and
depressed Negro, who, but few
years ago was emancipated from
physical slavery. This conspiracy
is the outgrowth OF crisis that
will be damning to the American
republic. The government has
even conspired to debar innocent
and respectable colored people
from enjoying pleasure trips
down the river; public parks are
being closed against US; certain
theatres have separate apartments;
colored females with their babies
are assaulted on the railroads,
corporations which are supported
by the government. The Negro
soldiers who form part of the
protecting arm of the govern
ment, are Disseminated against;
laws are heing passed making it a
mlsdelneanor for white teachers
to teach colored children and vice
versa. These are acts Of our
boasted and enlightened republic;
these are the wrongs perpetrated
against the Negro in this age Of
progress and civilization. Well
did the learned Roman counse
say, . tempora! O mores! Wha'
have we done that We should bt
so prosecuted? We forgave yot
fyour past acts believing that il

AN OPEN LETTER TO COM
MISSIONER w. B. WEBB.
Hon. w. B. w ebb,

Hon. w. B. Webb,
Commissioner of the District:
Strive hope that You have re-
cuperated sufficiently and enjoy
ed your trip to be able to consid-
er our Public Schools. You are
not aware that there are few
negroes in this city who are en-
deavoring to make you believe
that Henry Johnson is a valuable
school trustee. Mr.. Webb, it you
will look at the supporters OF
johnson you will be convinced
that but a few have the respect
of the people. They will tell you
that the great exposer Is an i'm
portant factor in the schools.
There is no man as much hated
and disliked as johnson. We ex-
press the sentiment of the people
and in few days you will be con-
vinced that the PEOPLE, the PEO-
PIE demand his removal from
the school board. These men who
favor johnson will say it wont do
to allow him to be removed un-
der a cloud. Did johnson think
of that poor female teacher who
was exposed to the Bee by him?
Did Ellis Brown have his sym.
pathy? Did others whom he has
exposed have any sympathy from
him? Why then should our white
and colored schools be longer in
charge of such a man.
Tie good and prosperity of our
schools demand that there be an
immediate change The teachers
asks it, parents demand it, and
the people will look for it. Un
less there is a change our schools
will be looked upon as resort tor
the denni monde, when it is fact
that we have some of the purest
women in the county teaching In
our white and colored schools. Ii
Mr.. Johnson's weakness is to ex-
pose and hunt scandals let him
be employed by the government
to go through the division aud
report the number of bawdy
houses and the inmates.
Personally, Mr.. Webb, we like
Mr.. johnson, but he should I've
officially relegated to private life
and keep company with John
Brooks, two lovely ex-school
officers. You are not aware OF
tue unpublished abuse, written
by these men against
our public schools. We hope
before, we shall be able to ad-
dress YOU another letter OF this
character, the peoples demand
may be justified.
There is some talk Mr.. Webt
of appointing man from either
the Southern Or Eastern section
of the city. If it is your intention
TO appoint man, from the South
to succeed Mr.. johnson, DIR
Sumby or John Francis Wilker
son will suit
If you select a man from the
East, Lewis Cornish is a good
man. In our opinion Mr.. W ebb
Prof. w. b. Johnson, who is wei
known to you is a good mar
or Carter Stewart. Sr. Hoping
you much success We remain
yours,

The CprrsctTin,e,

There are very few men who do not
pride themselves on always having the
correct time; and wonderful and delicate
mechanism are divised to enable them to
do so. But the more delicate d chrono-
meter is made. the more subject 1T be-
comes to arrangement, and unless it
be kept aiways perfectly clean, IL soon
loses its usefulness. What wonder, then ,
that the human maohine-so much more
delicate and intricate than any work OF
M~an-shonld require to be kept
thoroughly cleansed. The liver is the
main-spring of this complex structure,
and on the impurities left in the blood
by q disordered liver, depend most of
the Ills that flesh is heir TO, Even
consumption (which is lung scrofula), is
traceable to the imperfect action of this
organ. Kidney diseases. akin diseases,
sick headache, heart desease, dropsy,
and . long catalogue of gave maladles
have their origin in q torpid, or sluggish
liver, DR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. by establishing q healthy, nor
NAL action OF the liver; acts as a cure
and preventive OF these diseases.

Arsnsdorf in q Rad Way.

Attorney David n. Wood of Sioux
City, Iowa, is one of the leading tenn
peranee workers 10 lowe, and has been
actively engaged ever since Haddock's
murder in efforts to punish the murder
ers. Hs says:
The feeling among those Interested in
the prosecution OF Arensdorf and his
associates is that everything is being
done that can be done under the circum-
stances. A public sentiment has been
created f.vorabie to the prosecution.
Even some OF Arensdorf's most intimate
friends now express the opinion, conf
dentially, that Arensdorf is guilty. The
defense ism q very embarrassing situa.
ton. They have great crowd of witness.
es who are hangers-on. who are bleeding
them until their finds are about ex.
hausted. We think the result 30 tar has
done good TO the Temperance people by
the dangerous power of the ga
loon influence even after the saloons are
dead. The drug stores are the saloons
in Iowa. The leading respectable drug.
glat. who think the lianes trade is maxim
their business dasreputable, are in favor
of the legislature taking sway the general
right OF druggist to sell liquor. AT the
next session g move will be made in tina!
direction. I think that the leading men
in lowe favor more stringent legislation,
to close mp the secret holes in the wall.
We have two breweries constantly pro-
viding avenues to dispense their bever'

cret place until he is caught. Then they

Huron, Oak, June M-The failure oi
DR.. Charles O.lHuff, OF this city, to re-
ceive the presidency Of the Dakota board
of health has brought to Che attention
of the homeopathic profession Of the ter
ritory n or two points in the law
creating the board. which they propose
shall be remadied at the next session of
the legislature. Gov. Church did not
withhold DR.. Hnff's commission because
OF any complaint OF avowal of lncompe-
teney, but because OF a provision in the
law to which his attention wal called by
the attorney general on the Cover.
nor's return to Bismarck. This
provision is to the effect that the
board OF health shall consist of three
members, practitioners OF the school re-
cogDized by the American Medical as
ISOLATION. Az homeopathy is not reeog-
nized by that association of course DR..
Huff's appointment could not be made
in strict compliance with the Law. It ie
not surprising that the homeopathic
physicians of the territory should be-
somewhat exercised over the seemingly
unjust and directed discrimination
agalDst them. Letters will soon be sent to
each homeopathic physician in Dakota
asking an expression Of opinion and in.
viting suggestions looking to the lorna.
ton of u law that will give them pro.
per recognition and they will ask its
passage by the next grand assembly.
1t is proposed to increase the board to
seven members, three of whom shall be
a~llopathic, three homeopathic and one
eclectic, each to be o graduate of his
respective sohool in medicine and SUR
gerry, and with an experience of not loss
than three years continuous practice in
the territory It is not improbable that
the homeopathic fraternity will meet
with some opposition to Its proposed
new law, but the business of the PROPOSE
tion cannot be questioned. neither should
they be censured fer their early taking

The profession will have the indorsment
of a very large class OF people in this
